Needed a better toggle/draw latch for a toolbox.

Couldn't believe no one else had done this already.

Let’s try this again.

What wheels are those?

that looks so nice!!! dang bro your printer is dialed in, thats secxy

When you need only 2 wing shims, it seems a shame to waste the printer warm up time...

Oh well, guess I need to build another five B4s...

Petg failed during the mains. Going to see if ABS will be durable enough.

which printer yu got bro? my A1 wont print abs and it makes me very salty lol, in the slow market for a different printer that WILL print abs

I think ABS will work, but if not I'd up walls and infill for strength.

Try doing away with the flatheads/c-sinks and use buttonheads. That will make the print stronger, and the buttonheads will add some clamping in the weak areas. Also add a 3mm high x 3mm wide rib in these spots I marked red. And make the print 1mm thicker. ABS will be stronger for sure. Also, do away with the top and bottom layers. 100% infill with a concentric pattern. That broke almost perfectly inline with your top/bottom fill pattern. So if you're doing 45° and -45° for the fill pattern, only half the thickness of that psrt is keeping it from breaking there. A concentric pattern will be a lot stronger.

Thanks, I didn't design the part but if this fails again I will modify or create one from scratch with your thoughts in mind

I can't remember who uses what in here, but do you use Fusion 360? I ask because that part would be easy to reverse engineer because Fusion should easily convert that to a solid model. I would do that then create a new component and redraw the original sketch to get the hole positions and outer profile. Then I'd also redo that fan grille to incorporate more strength into the design.

If you want, share the STL file here and I'll get you a better solid model to play with, as well as a redesigned one as I would modify it.

Yes I use fusion360, I'll share the model when I get back to my pc

Basic little stand for working on 1:24 scale

Do you have space to make the part one or two millimeters thicker?

Made this for my daughter

Tried to emulate (not duplicate) her Slash. Yes, my paint skills suck. I promise, in person, sitting on a shelf, it doesn't look nearly as bad.

Also made this for my buddy to match his YJ (phone in background to get sense of scale). His Jeep has a tan top, he just had it off for wheeling
